Travelling with a companion or carer?

The accessible villa can be booked alongside an adjacent villa - ideal if you're travelling with family, friends or a carer who needs their own space. Each villa is private but close enough to share meals and time together.

Enquire about adjoining villa

We're a small family-run property and accessibility matters to us. I personally check in with guests staying in the accessible villa to make sure everything is right for them. If you have any questions before booking, about the villa layout, the property grounds, or anything else, I'm very happy to have a chat.

The Setting

The villa sits within 100 acres of farmland, surrounded by native trees. Sit out on the deck and you might catch the cows wandering past, or spot some of the birdlife that guests so often mention as a highlight of their stay.

For guests who want to slow down and simply be somewhere beautiful, it's a genuinely peaceful spot to do just that.
